Waterways offer a very different perspective on the UK, their quiet channels taking in some of the country’s most picturesque landscapes as well as its most fascinating industrial heritage. Chirk to Ellesmere & Llangollen Trip length: 16 hours return For a journey that takes in some of the most dramatic scenery in the UK, head to Chirk in Wales for a trip on the Llangollen Canal. This short route through the Dee Valley is perfect for beginners, with plenty of stop-off points and the option to avoid locks. Ely to Cambridge Trip length: Three to four days This East Anglian classic launches from the cathedral city of Ely, a few miles northeast of Cambridge. It’s 18 miles each way on the scenic rivers Ouse and Cam. The route passes through Wicken Fen wetland nature reserve, an ancient habitat of reedbeds and marshland that’s home to birds and butterflies. There are just four locks to tackle, which brings the strain for beginners. Falkirk to Edinburgh Trip length: Seven days This Scottish break kicks off with a ride on the famous Falkirk Wheel, a towering mechanical masterpiece that lifts you onto the Union Canal. From there, sail into the Falkirk Tunnel and make a stop at the birthplace of Mary Queen of Scots, ruined Linlithgow Palace, which offers interactive family activities. Try watersports on Linlithgow Loch, before continuing across the 820ft-long Avon Aqueduct; kids will love that it snakes 85ft above the ground. Stourport Ring, from Stoke Prior Trip length: Seven to 14 days Starting at Stoke Prior in Worcestershire, this 76-mile route passes Birmingham family attractions and Cadbury World, where you can pause for a chocolatey afternoon tea and new attractions unfolded for the brand’s 200th anniversary this year. 1. Which of the above route trips is the appropriate for beginners? A. Chirk to Ellesmere Llangollen B. Ely to Cambridge C. Falkirk to Edinburgh D. Stourport Ring, from Stoke Prior 2. What is special about Falkirk to Edinburgh route? A. It offers the most beautiful scenery. B. It has toughest trip for children. C. It offers family interactive activities. D. It offers a chocolatey afternoon tea. 3. What do the four routes have in common? A. They all offer water sports for children. B. They all have plenty of stop-off points. C. They are all trips over waterways. D. They all provide new attractions for kids. 【答案】1. A 2. C 3. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四个观光的路线。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Chirk to Ellesmere Llangollen部分中“This short route through the Dee Valley is perfect for beginners, with plenty of stop-off points and the option to avoid locks.(这条穿越迪伊山谷的短途路线非常适合初学者，沿途有很多停留点，可以选择避开封锁区)”可知，Chirk to Ellesmere Llangollen适合初学者。故选A。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Falkirk to Edinburgh部分中“From there, sail into the Falkirk Tunnel and make a stop at the birthplace of Mary Queen of Scots, ruined Linlithgow Palace, which offers interactive family activities.(从那里，驶入福尔柯克隧道，在苏格兰玛丽女王的出生地，被毁坏的林利斯戈宫停下来，这里提供互动的家庭活动)”可知，福尔柯克到爱丁堡的路线提供家庭互动活动。故选C。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“There are few better ways to slow down and come together as a family than on a canal-boat break. Waterways offer a very different perspective on the UK, their quiet channels taking in some of the country’s most picturesque landscapes as well as its most fascinating industrial heritage.(没有什么比在运河船上休息更好的方式来放慢脚步，和家人团聚了。水路为英国提供了一个非常不同的视角，它们安静的河道将这个国家一些最风景如画的风景以及最迷人的工业遗产带到了这里)”可知，这四条路线的共同点是都是水路旅行。故选C。 B Beijing has launched its first unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) logistics (后勤) delivery route in the Badaling section of the Great Wall, which enables tourists to receive summer relief items and emergency supplies within minutes, said the Badaling scenic area on Friday. The south ninth watchtower on the extended line of the Badaling Great Wall serves as the delivery point for the new route. The area, which opened to the public at the end of 2023, mainly hosts activities such as outdoor hiking, adventure crossings, Great Wall studies and travel photography. The lack of commercial facilities at the area makes it difficult for visitors to attain supplies such as drinking water. To address the delivery of supplies, the Badaling Great Wall scenic area partnered with a delivery platform to launch the UAV delivery route. Once at the delivery spot, tourists may scan a QR code with their mobile phones to place orders on a food delivery platform, and the supplies will be delivered by drones (无人机) within five minutes. A single trip to the spot usually takes 50 minutes on foot. On the return trip, the drone may also transport the waste generated, significantly reducing the labor costs for the Great Wall’s maintenance staff, according to the delivery platform participating in the UAV service. Among the most popular sections of the Great Wall, the Badaling scenic area was first opened to tourists in 1958, and has since received more than 200 million visitors from home and abroad. In recent years, Beijing has been continuously expanding new situations for the application of the low-altitude economy. In addition to such drone delivery services, tourists can also take a trial class in pilot training, or enjoy the majestic view of the Great Wall from a helicopter or a fixed-wing aircraft. 4. Why do they choose the south ninth watchtower as the delivery point? A. The area supplies convenient facilities for the drones. B. The area mainly hosts activities like outdoor hiking. C. The area newly opened to the public last year. D. The area lacks commercial facilities providing supplies. 5. What is the third paragraph mainly about? A. How the delivery system works. B. How tourists order supplies. C. How long the delivery takes. D. How to launch the UAV delivery route. 6. How do they reduce the maintenance cost? A. By increasing the delivery cost properly. B. By transporting waste on the return trip. C. By largely reducing the maintenance staff. D. By providing more commercial facilities. 7. What will the article probably continue to tell? A. The situation of the Badaling scenic area. B. The popularity of the newly open area of the Great Wall. C. The advantage of the application of the low-altitude economy. D. The expansion of the application of the low-altitude economy. 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是新闻报道。文章报道了北京八达岭长城景区开通首条无人机后勤配送路线的情况，介绍了配送点的位置、配送方式、服务内容以及该举措的意义等。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“The south ninth watchtower on the extended line of the Badaling Great Wall serves as the delivery point for the new route. The area, which opened to the public at the end of 2023, mainly hosts activities such as outdoor hiking, adventure crossings, Great Wall studies and travel photography. The lack of commercial facilities at the area makes it difficult for visitors to attain supplies such as drinking water.(八达岭长城延长线上的南九瞭望塔是新路线的交付点。该区域于2023年底向公众开放，主要举办户外徒步旅行，冒险穿越，长城研究和旅行摄影等活动。由于该地区缺乏商业设施，游客很难获得饮用水等供应)”可知，可知，选择南九瞭望塔作为配送点是因为该地区缺乏提供物资的商业设施。故选D项。 【5题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“To address the delivery of supplies, the Badaling Great Wall scenic area partnered with a delivery platform to launch the UAV delivery route. Once at the delivery spot, tourists may scan a QR code with their mobile phones to place orders on a food delivery platform, and the supplies will be delivered by drones (无人机) within five minutes. A single trip to the spot usually takes 50 minutes on foot.(为解决物资配送问题，八达岭长城景区与配送平台合作，推出无人机配送路线。到达送餐点后，游客只需用手机扫描二维码，在送餐平台上下单，五分钟内，无人机就会将食品送到。单次步行通常需要50分钟)”可知，本段主要讲述配送系统是如何工作的。故选A项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“On the return trip, the drone may also transport the waste generated, significantly reducing the labor costs for the Great Wall’s maintenance staff, according to the delivery platform participating in the UAV service.(据参与无人机服务的配送平台称，在回程中，无人机还可以运输产生的废物，大大降低了长城维护人员的人工成本)”可知，他们通过在回程时运输垃圾来降低维护成本。故选B项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“In recent years, Beijing has been continuously expanding new situations for the application of the low-altitude economy. In addition to such drone delivery services, tourists can also take a trial class in pilot training, or enjoy the majestic view of the Great Wall from a helicopter or a fixed-wing aircraft.(近年来，北京不断拓展低空经济应用的新局面。除了这种无人机送货服务，游客还可以参加飞行员培训的试飞班，或者从直升机或固定翼飞机上欣赏长城的壮丽景色)”可推知，接下来文章可能会继续讲述低空经济应用的扩展。故选D项。 C A coral farm in the Bahamas is proving that the most efficient way to restore coral reefs may be growing them on land. Coral Vita is a reef restoration project which grows corals using microfragmentation — the process of cutting corals into small pieces and positioning them near each other to trigger a natural healing and accelerate the rapid growth of coral tissue. While on the farm, corals are also exposed to managed stress such as water warming or acidification, to help cultivate their resilience (弹性) — this process is also known as “assisted evolution”. Once fully grown, the corals are moved to degraded reef sites in the ocean where their impact is already noticeable. “One of the restoration sites in Grand Bahama had 75 percent survivorship of corals after one year,” cofounder Sam Teicher tells Mashable. “In the Bahamas, if you have 30-50 percent survivorship after one year, that’s considered a good project. So we had one site 75 percent, another site 30 percent, another site 99 percent.” During a mass bleaching (变白) in the summer of 2023, natural corals in the area were wiped out. But the corals Coral Vita planted, which had been given a resilience boost on the land farm, survived. One of the elements that distinguishes Coral Vita from other reef restoration projects is that it is a for-profit organization, which Teicher says was a conscious choice. “We felt like many environmental challenges weren’t being solved rapidly or effectively enough by those sectors, despite the best intentions and hard work,” he says. “So what if we could create a company that can pay for restorations instead of a donation here and a grant there, which is how most coral farming projects are funded, which unfortunately limits a lot of the critically needed impact to keep reefs alive.” 8. What does Coral Vita do? A. It collects endangered corals from the ocean. B. It restores coral reefs by planting them on land. C. It triggers a healing process of corals under the sea. D. It cuts corals into pieces and plants them in water. 9. What does the fourth paragraph imply? A. The restoration process still face huge challenges. B. The restoration process will surely bring great changes. C. The restoration will greatly improve the environment. D. The restoration has made significant achievements. 10. Why does Coral Vita choose to be a for-profit organization consciously? A. Because it can not acquire enough donation from society. B. Because Coral Vita can pay for restorations with the profit. C. Because most coral farming projects are funded by companies. D. Because the company’s objective is to make profits from the project. 11. Which of the following might be the best title? A. What if Protecting Coral Reefs Means Growing Them on Land? B. How Was a Reef Restoration Founded in the Bahamas? C. The Great Achievements Coral Vita Has Achieved D. Endangered Coral Reefs Were Saved by A Company 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了位于巴哈马的Coral Vita项目，该项目通过在陆地上种植珊瑚来恢复珊瑚礁，并通过“辅助进化”提高珊瑚的弹性。文章还提到该项目选择成为营利性组织的原因。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“A coral farm in the Bahamas is proving that the most efficient way to restore coral reefs may be growing them on land.(巴哈马群岛的一个珊瑚农场证明，恢复珊瑚礁最有效的方法可能是在陆地上种植它们。)”以及第二段“Coral Vita is a reef restoration project which grows corals using microfragmentation — the process of cutting corals into small pieces and positioning them near each other to trigger a natural healing and accelerate the rapid growth of coral tissue.(Coral Vita是一个利用微分割技术培育珊瑚的珊瑚礁恢复项目——即将珊瑚切成小块并相互靠近放置，以触发自然愈合并加速珊瑚组织的快速生长。)” 可知，Coral Vita通过在陆地上种植珊瑚来恢复珊瑚礁。故选B项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。第四段“One of the restoration sites in Grand Bahama had 75 percent survivorship of corals after one year,” cofounder Sam Teicher tells Mashable. “In the Bahamas, if you have 30-50 percent survivorship after one year, that’s considered a good project.(Grand Bahama的一个恢复点一年后珊瑚存活率为75%，联合创始人Sam Teicher告诉Mashable：‘在巴哈马，如果一年后珊瑚的存活率达到30-50%，那就算是一个好的项目了。’)”提到Grand Bahama的恢复点一年后珊瑚存活率高达75%，而巴哈马地区通常认为一年后有30-50%的存活率就算是一个好的项目，由此可以推断出Coral Vita的恢复项目取得了显著的成就。故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。最后一段提到“‘So what if we could create a company that can pay for restorations instead of a donation here and a grant there, which is how most coral farming projects are funded, which unfortunately limits a lot of the critically needed impact to keep reefs alive.’(‘那么，如果我们能创建一家公司，用利润来支付恢复费用，而不是像大多数珊瑚养殖项目那样靠这里的捐款和那里的拨款来资助，这不就能解决很多急需的保持珊瑚礁存活的影响了吗？’)”可知，Coral Vita选择成为营利性组织是因为可以用利润来支付恢复费用。故选B。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章内容，尤其是第一段“A coral farm in the Bahamas is proving that the most efficient way to restore coral reefs may be growing them on land.(巴哈马群岛的一个珊瑚养殖场正在证明，恢复珊瑚礁的最有效方法可能是在陆地上种植珊瑚礁)”可知，文章主要讲述了一个珊瑚礁恢复项目Coral Vita在陆地上建设农场种植珊瑚，这个项目所取得的成就正在证明这可能是恢复珊瑚礁的最有效方法。A选项“如果保护珊瑚礁意味着在陆地上种植它们呢？”能够概括文章主旨，为最佳标题。故选A项。 D When visiting a doctor a few years from now, you can expect to be accompanied by a virtual version of yourself. This so-called digital twin will be a working model of your body that can be summoned onto a physician’s computer screen. Updated with your latest vital signs, it will help the doctor make an accurate diagnosis. It also opens the door for medicines and procedures designed specifically for you, greatly increasing recovery rates. This might seem like fantasy, but the foundations are being laid. Researchers at Queen Mary University of London already use computer simulations of the hearts of individual patients to evaluate different treatments for atrial fibrillation (心房颤动), a common disorder. It would be far too risky to experiment this way on someone’s real heart. With other organs also being twinned by scientists, it seems likely they will eventually link up to form a virtual body. Digital twins are starting to pop up everywhere. Among other things, they monitor the health of jet engines on airliners, keep track of Uber’s network of vehicles and replicate Amazon’s extensive supply chain well enough for the online retailer to accurately forecast sales several years ahead. They are helping local authorities respond to the effects of flooding and letting carmakers shave years off the development of new models by simulating test drives and crashes. Twins are also being developed to help manage factories, companies and entire cities. All this is being turbo-charged by recent progress in artificial intelligence (AI), which gives twins the ability to make predictions about their physical counterparts, and fine-tune themselves on new data. Digital twins began as basic computer models of physical objects and systems. As computers have become more powerful, twins have become more sophisticated. Complex design and modelling software means many physical objects initially take shape in the virtual world. 12. How does the digital twin benefit a patient? A. It can accompany the patient anytime and anywhere. B. It can help the doctor make a precise diagnosis. C. It can replace the patient’s body to receive treatment. D. It can be called to the reality with the order from doctors. 13. Why does the author mention atrial fibrillation in the third paragraph? A. To stress the effective use of digital twins. B. To promote the widespread use of digital twins. C. To prove the theory is correctly used in practice. D. To showcase the risk of using digital twins. 14. What does the underlined phrase in the fourth paragraph mean? A. Turn up. B. Pull up. C. Spring up. D. Put up. 15. What may be the author’s attitude to the future of digital twins? A. Indifferent. B. Critical. C. Negative. D. Promising. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了数字孪生的作用以及未来的发展情况。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Updated with your latest vital signs, it will help the doctor make an accurate diagnosis.(更新你的最新生命体征，它将帮助医生做出准确的诊断。)”可知，数字孪生可以帮助医生做出准确的诊断。故选B。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Researchers at Queen Mary University of London already use computer simulations of the hearts of individual patients to evaluate different treatments for atrial fibrillation (心房颤动), a common disorder. It would be far too risky to experiment this way on someone’s real heart. With other organs also being twinned by scientists, it seems likely they will eventually link up to form a virtual body.(伦敦玛丽女王大学的研究人员已经使用针对个别患者心脏的计算机模拟来评估治疗心房颤动的不同方案，心房颤动是一种常见的疾病。在真人心脏上进行此类实验将风险极高。随着科学家们也在对其他器官进行“孪生”模拟，他们最终似乎有望将这些模拟连接起来，形成一个虚拟人体。)”可知，作者在第三段提到房颤是为了强调数字孪生的有效使用。故选A。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“Among other things, they monitor the health of jet engines on airliners, keep track of Uber’s network of vehicles and replicate Amazon’s extensive supply chain well enough for the online retailer to accurately forecast sales several years ahead.(除此之外，它们还监控着客机喷气式发动机健康状况，追踪优步（Uber）的车辆网络，并相当好地复制了亚马逊庞大的供应链，使这家在线零售商能够准确预测未来几年的销售情况。)”可知，后文主要列举了数字孪生出现的一些场合，说明数字孪生开始到处出现。故划线词意思是“出现”。故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Digital twins began as basic computer models of physical objects and systems. As computers have become more powerful, twins have become more sophisticated. Complex design and modelling software means many physical objects initially take shape in the virtual world.(数字孪生起初是物理对象和系统的基本计算机模型。随着计算机性能的提升，数字孪生也变得越来越复杂。复杂的设计和建模软件意味着许多物理对象最初都是在虚拟世界中成形的。)”可知，作者认为数字孪生未来是有前途的。故选D。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Do you start something and then leave it midway? Do you also feel an enthusiastic rush at the beginning of new things but lose motivation after some time? ____16____ Set a “SMART” goal. Setting a goal is always the first step but what is the true essence of a goal? Your goal has to be “SMART”. What does a SMART goal mean? Well, it has to be: S: SPECIFIC; M: MEASURABLE; A: ACHIEVABLE; R: RELEVANT; T: TIME-BOUND. Setting a SMART goal will give you clarity about what you are trying to achieve, and how you have to divide your time to achieve it. ____17____ Find your source. We all have that one Why inside of us that pushes us to work hard to reach our goal. ____18____ Your source can be anything like financial freedom, trying to prove yourself, a desire to make an impact, or simply having something meaningful in life. Finding your why will help you connect with your goal on a deeper level. Divide your task. ____19____ Sometimes, when we think that we have a lot to do on our hands, we end up doing nothing because the fear of having to do a lot of work paralysis us. It is always better to divide your main goal into smaller, achievable tasks. ____20____ For some people, creating a visual representation board can be really helpful. You can collect images, quotes, or symbols that align with your goal. Place it on your wall or workstation, somewhere you can see it daily and be reminded of your destiny. A. Make your goal realistic. B. Visualize representation of the goal. C. Don’t worry, I have got a cheat code for you! D. It can be overwhelming to look at your goal as a whole. E. It will tell you if your goal is relevant and achievable or not. F. Sharing your progress is a recognized way of staying on track. G. It pinches us every day and reminds us where we have to go. 【答案】16. C 17. E 18. G 19. D 20. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了如何通过设定SMART目标、找到动力来源、分解任务等方法来保持动力并实现目标。 【16题详解】 上文“Do you start something and then leave it midway? Do you also feel an enthusiastic rush at the beginning of new things but lose motivation after some time?(你是不是开始做一件事，然后半途而废？你是否也曾在新事物开始时感到热情高涨，但过了一段时间就失去动力了)”及下文几个策略可知，空处承上启下，C选项中的“a cheat code”能解决上文的问题，同时引出下文中的策略。所以C选项“别担心，我有一个捷径给你！”，符合语境。故选C。 【17题详解】 上文“Setting a SMART goal will give you clarity about what you are trying to achieve, and how you have to divide your time to achieve it.(设定一个SMART目标会让你清楚地知道你想要实现什么，以及你必须如何分配时间来实现它)”说明首先要根据SMART目标设定一个自己的目标，选项E中的“it”与上文中的“SMART goal”相一致，“tell you if your goal is relevant and achievable or not”与上文相一致，所以E选项“它会告诉你你的目标是否相关且可实现。”，符合语境。故选E。 【18题详解】 上文“We all have that one Why inside of us that pushes us to work hard to reach our goal.(我们内心都有一个驱使我们努力工作以达到目标的“为什么”)”说明我们内心有一个内驱力，选项G中的“it”与上文中的“one Why inside of us”相一致，“pinches us”与上文“pushes us”相一致，说明内驱力鞭策我们且提醒我们。所以G选项“它每天都在鞭策我们，提醒我们该往哪里去。”，符合语境。故选G。 【19题详解】 下文“It is always better to divide your main goal into smaller, achievable tasks.(将主要目标分解成较小、可实现的任务总是更好的选择)”说明小目标容易实现，而整体目标不容易实现，选项D中的“a whole”与下文中的“smaller, achievable tasks”相呼应，“overwhelming”与下文中的“better”相呼应。所以D选项“将整个目标放在一起来看可能会让人感到不知所措。”，符合语境。故选D。 【20题详解】 下文“For some people, creating a visual representation board can be really helpful.(对于一些人来说，创建一个视觉展示板真的很有帮助)”说明创建视觉展示板有用，选项B中的“Visualize representation”与下文中的“visual representation”相一致。所以B选项“将目标可视化。”，符合语境。故选B。 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 I was asked to give a speech at a conference on education.

To me, they mean growth under the care of others. I learned this the hard way. I used to be very shy and often felt lonely. Although I did well in all the academic subjects, I was afraid of physical education. My classmates often laughed at me. “Look at that girl,” they said. “Her feet don’t leave the ground when she runs!” Their words embarrassed me. Moreover, whenever the teacher organized some competitive games, no one in the class liked to have me as their partner or team member. As a result, I often ended up looking at others enjoy their games. Things would go on like that if not for a sports meet in my high school. By mistake, my name was put on the list of those who would compete in the women’s 1500 meters race. By the time people found the mistake, it was too late to change. I was utterly dumbfounded (目瞪口呆的). l500 meters！Running against the best runners from other classes! And in front of students of the entire school! It would be the worst nightmare I’d ever have! “You still have time to catch up because there is still one month before the sports meet” my classmates all said this to me, including my teacher. My desk-mate patted me on the shoulder, “Cool! You will run for our class! And we will do training together.” Yes, this is not just for myself, but for my class too, I said to myself. But still, 1500 meters to me was like Mount Everest to a beginning climber. I had no idea even how to start my preparation. Fortunately, my desk-mate gave me a hand. Every afternoon after class, several of us ran together. They gave me strengths. While we were running, some others would stand by the tracks cheering for us. One month certainly couldn’t make me a good runner. But when I was standing behind the start line, I no longer felt lonely or afraid. I saw my classmates standing by the tracks waving at me as if about to run beside me. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The day came! _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As expected, I was almost the last to cross the finish line. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 The day came! With the shot of the starting gun, I dashed out and ran as fast as I could. Soon I was out of breath and slowed down. Other runners passed me one by one, and gradually I had no idea how many of them were still behind me. My legs were getting heavier and heavier, and I might fall down at any moment. However, I suddenly heard my classmates chanting my name. My desk-mate even ran along the tracks beside me and cheered for me at the same time, just like the month-long training we did together. As expected, I was almost the last to cross the finish line. Immediately, my classmates held my arms and urged me to walk on my feet and not to sit down. I was surrounded, with all kinds of drinks handed to me. I felt a kind of warmth I had never felt before. Even though I was almost the last to finish the race, I was full of confidence that I would improve in the future. That sports meet was an unforgettable experience. Sports are no longer about winning or losing. They give me a lot of confidence, both confidence in my fellow students and confidence in my own potential. I am no longer lonely, no longer afraid. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为中心展开，主要讲述作者因为同学们的嘲笑而从来不敢参加任何体育活动。但是高中时，由于失误，作者的名字被列入了运动会女子1500米跑步比赛的名单中，不得不参加这项比赛让作者充满恐惧。接下来，作者在同学们的鼓励和陪伴下，进行了为期一个月的训练。虽然一个月的训练不足以让作者成为优秀的跑步者，但是这次经历让作者不再感到孤独和害怕。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“那一天来了”可知，第一段可描写作者比赛的艰难过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“不出所料，我几乎是最后一个冲过终点线的。”可知，第二段可描写比赛结束之后同学们对作者的态度以及作者的感悟。 2. 续写线索：开始跑——速度慢——被超过——被鼓励——被包围——感受到温暖——感动——有信心——感悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①气喘吁吁：be out of breath/pant for breath ②摔倒：fall down/tumble ③抓住：hold/grasp 情绪类 ①充满自信的：full of confidence/very confident ②害怕的：afraid/scared 【点睛】【高分句型1】Other runners passed me one by one, and gradually I had no idea how many of them were still behind me.（运用了how many引导的同位语从句） 【高分句型2】I felt a kind of warmth I had never felt before.（运用了省略关系代词的定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 英语 本试卷由四个部分组成。其中，第一、二部分和第三部分的第一节为选择题。第三部分的第二节和第四部分为非选择题。考试时间120分钟，满分150分。 考生注意事项： 1. 答题前，考生务必在试题卷、答题卡规定的地方填写自己的姓名、座位号。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束，务必将试题卷和答题卡一并上交。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 回答听力部分时，请先将答案标在试卷上。听力部分结束前，你将有两分钟的时间将你的答案转涂到客观题答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

Waterways offer a very different perspective on the UK, their quiet channels taking in some of the country’s most picturesque landscapes as well as its most fascinating industrial heritage. Chirk to Ellesmere & Llangollen Trip length: 16 hours return For a journey that takes in some of the most dramatic scenery in the UK, head to Chirk in Wales for a trip on the Llangollen Canal. This short route through the Dee Valley is perfect for beginners, with plenty of stop-off points and the option to avoid locks. Ely to Cambridge Trip length: Three to four days This East Anglian classic launches from the cathedral city of Ely, a few miles northeast of Cambridge. It’s 18 miles each way on the scenic rivers Ouse and Cam. The route passes through Wicken Fen wetland nature reserve, an ancient habitat of reedbeds and marshland that’s home to birds and butterflies. There are just four locks to tackle, which brings the strain for beginners. Falkirk to Edinburgh Trip length: Seven days This Scottish break kicks off with a ride on the famous Falkirk Wheel, a towering mechanical masterpiece that lifts you onto the Union Canal. From there, sail into the Falkirk Tunnel and make a stop at the birthplace of Mary Queen of Scots, ruined Linlithgow Palace, which offers interactive family activities. Try watersports on Linlithgow Loch, before continuing across the 820ft-long Avon Aqueduct; kids will love that it snakes 85ft above the ground. Stourport Ring, from Stoke Prior Trip length: Seven to 14 days Starting at Stoke Prior in Worcestershire, this 76-mile route passes Birmingham family attractions and Cadbury World, where you can pause for a chocolatey afternoon tea and new attractions unfolded for the brand’s 200th anniversary this year. 1. Which of the above route trips is the appropriate for beginners? A. Chirk to Ellesmere Llangollen B. Ely to Cambridge C. Falkirk to Edinburgh D. Stourport Ring, from Stoke Prior 2. What is special about Falkirk to Edinburgh route? A. It offers the most beautiful scenery. B. It has toughest trip for children. C. It offers family interactive activities. D. It offers a chocolatey afternoon tea. 3. What do the four routes have in common? A. They all offer water sports for children. B. They all have plenty of stop-off points. C. They are all trips over waterways. D. They all provide new attractions for kids. B Beijing has launched its first unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) logistics (后勤) delivery route in the Badaling section of the Great Wall, which enables tourists to receive summer relief items and emergency supplies within minutes, said the Badaling scenic area on Friday. The south ninth watchtower on the extended line of the Badaling Great Wall serves as the delivery point for the new route. The area, which opened to the public at the end of 2023, mainly hosts activities such as outdoor hiking, adventure crossings, Great Wall studies and travel photography. The lack of commercial facilities at the area makes it difficult for visitors to attain supplies such as drinking water. To address the delivery of supplies, the Badaling Great Wall scenic area partnered with a delivery platform to launch the UAV delivery route. Once at the delivery spot, tourists may scan a QR code with their mobile phones to place orders on a food delivery platform, and the supplies will be delivered by drones (无人机) within five minutes. A single trip to the spot usually takes 50 minutes on foot. On the return trip, the drone may also transport the waste generated, significantly reducing the labor costs for the Great Wall’s maintenance staff, according to the delivery platform participating in the UAV service. Among the most popular sections of the Great Wall, the Badaling scenic area was first opened to tourists in 1958, and has since received more than 200 million visitors from home and abroad. In recent years, Beijing has been continuously expanding new situations for the application of the low-altitude economy. In addition to such drone delivery services, tourists can also take a trial class in pilot training, or enjoy the majestic view of the Great Wall from a helicopter or a fixed-wing aircraft. 4. Why do they choose the south ninth watchtower as the delivery point? A. The area supplies convenient facilities for the drones. B. The area mainly hosts activities like outdoor hiking. C. The area newly opened to the public last year. D. The area lacks commercial facilities providing supplies. 5. What is the third paragraph mainly about? A. How the delivery system works. B. How tourists order supplies. C. How long the delivery takes. D. How to launch the UAV delivery route. 6. How do they reduce the maintenance cost? A. By increasing the delivery cost properly. B. By transporting waste on the return trip. C. By largely reducing the maintenance staff. D. By providing more commercial facilities. 7. What will the article probably continue to tell? A. The situation of the Badaling scenic area. B. The popularity of the newly open area of the Great Wall. C. The advantage of the application of the low-altitude economy. D. The expansion of the application of the low-altitude economy. C A coral farm in the Bahamas is proving that the most efficient way to restore coral reefs may be growing them on land. Coral Vita is a reef restoration project which grows corals using microfragmentation — the process of cutting corals into small pieces and positioning them near each other to trigger a natural healing and accelerate the rapid growth of coral tissue. While on the farm, corals are also exposed to managed stress such as water warming or acidification, to help cultivate their resilience (弹性) — this process is also known as “assisted evolution”. Once fully grown, the corals are moved to degraded reef sites in the ocean where their impact is already noticeable. “One of the restoration sites in Grand Bahama had 75 percent survivorship of corals after one year,” cofounder Sam Teicher tells Mashable. “In the Bahamas, if you have 30-50 percent survivorship after one year, that’s considered a good project. So we had one site 75 percent, another site 30 percent, another site 99 percent.” During a mass bleaching (变白) in the summer of 2023, natural corals in the area were wiped out. But the corals Coral Vita planted, which had been given a resilience boost on the land farm, survived. One of the elements that distinguishes Coral Vita from other reef restoration projects is that it is a for-profit organization, which Teicher says was a conscious choice. “We felt like many environmental challenges weren’t being solved rapidly or effectively enough by those sectors, despite the best intentions and hard work,” he says. “So what if we could create a company that can pay for restorations instead of a donation here and a grant there, which is how most coral farming projects are funded, which unfortunately limits a lot of the critically needed impact to keep reefs alive.” 8. What does Coral Vita do? A. It collects endangered corals from the ocean. B. It restores coral reefs by planting them on land. C. It triggers a healing process of corals under the sea. D. It cuts corals into pieces and plants them in water. 9. What does the fourth paragraph imply? A. The restoration process still face huge challenges. B. The restoration process will surely bring great changes. C. The restoration will greatly improve the environment. D. The restoration has made significant achievements. 10. Why does Coral Vita choose to be a for-profit organization consciously? A. Because it can not acquire enough donation from society. B. Because Coral Vita can pay for restorations with the profit. C Because most coral farming projects are funded by companies. D Because the company’s objective is to make profits from the project. 11. Which of the following might be the best title? A. What if Protecting Coral Reefs Means Growing Them on Land? B. How Was a Reef Restoration Founded in the Bahamas? C. The Great Achievements Coral Vita Has Achieved D. Endangered Coral Reefs Were Saved by A Company D When visiting a doctor a few years from now, you can expect to be accompanied by a virtual version of yourself. This so-called digital twin will be a working model of your body that can be summoned onto a physician’s computer screen. Updated with your latest vital signs, it will help the doctor make an accurate diagnosis. It also opens the door for medicines and procedures designed specifically for you, greatly increasing recovery rates. This might seem like fantasy, but the foundations are being laid. Researchers at Queen Mary University of London already use computer simulations of the hearts of individual patients to evaluate different treatments for atrial fibrillation (心房颤动), a common disorder. It would be far too risky to experiment this way on someone’s real heart. With other organs also being twinned by scientists, it seems likely they will eventually link up to form a virtual body. Digital twins are starting to pop up everywhere. Among other things, they monitor the health of jet engines on airliners, keep track of Uber’s network of vehicles and replicate Amazon’s extensive supply chain well enough for the online retailer to accurately forecast sales several years ahead. They are helping local authorities respond to the effects of flooding and letting carmakers shave years off the development of new models by simulating test drives and crashes.

To me, they mean growth under the care of others. I learned this the hard way. I used to be very shy and often felt lonely. Although I did well in all the academic subjects, I was afraid of physical education. My classmates often laughed at me. “Look at that girl,” they said. “Her feet don’t leave the ground when she runs!” Their words embarrassed me. Moreover, whenever the teacher organized some competitive games, no one in the class liked to have me as their partner or team member. As a result, I often ended up looking at others enjoy their games. Things would go on like that if not for a sports meet in my high school. By mistake, my name was put on the list of those who would compete in the women’s 1500 meters race. By the time people found the mistake, it was too late to change. I was utterly dumbfounded (目瞪口呆的). l500 meters！Running against the best runners from other classes! And in front of students of the entire school! It would be the worst nightmare I’d ever have! “You still have time to catch up because there is still one month before the sports meet,” my classmates all said this to me, including my teacher. My desk-mate patted me on the shoulder, “Cool! You will run for our class! And we will do training together.” Yes, this is not just for myself, but for my class too, I said to myself. But still, 1500 meters to me was like Mount Everest to a beginning climber. I had no idea even how to start my preparation. Fortunately, my desk-mate gave me a hand. Every afternoon after class, several of us ran together. They gave me strengths. While we were running, some others would stand by the tracks cheering for us. One month certainly couldn’t make me a good runner. But when I was standing behind the start line, I no longer felt lonely or afraid. I saw my classmates standing by the tracks waving at me as if about to run beside me. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The day came! _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As expected, I was almost the last to cross the finish line. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
